48991 (2025). Ingrid Leary to the Minister of Education: How many secondary schools offer onsite counselling, if at all?

Hon Erica Stanford: I am advised that the Ministry of Education does not collect data at a school level regarding the number of counsellors working in schools. Schools can choose to use their staffing entitlements to employ counsellors to meet the specific needs of their students. This is also my response to written parliamentary questions 48992 and 48994 (2025).
